I am running Drupal 6.16, with Views 6.x-2.10, and all is running fine except that Views is being listed in my Available Updates page as being version 6.x-2.8 (complete with "security update required"), AND listed in the Modules page as being version 6.x-2.8. I have run "update.php" just in case it was necessary (it wasn't) and have verified that the files on the actual server are indeed the new 6.x-2.10 package, including the .info files. I have updated several other modules just fine by uploading new versions--this problem seems to be isolated to Views.

Am I missing something? I disabled the Views modules and re-enabled them, to no effect. (I haven't tried uninstalling the modules because I'm concerned I might lose data--will I?) Thank you!

You may have unpacked the module into the wrong place (I've done it, that's how I know). If you unpacked it into, say, sites/all or something, you didn't overwrite any of the previous data and your install isn't seeing the new one. I coulda sworn I'd done it right ,and yet.

You should be fine deleting the stuff inside the \views directory and re-downloading and unzipping it into the right place. You shouldn't have any data issues (unless you've manually overwritten something inside the module directory, which is a Bad Thing) :)

But, always make a backup ;)
